Description: Banded total body

Changed this up and used some dumbbells for most of the exercises instead of bands. I loved it!

Need:
Mini loop band
Pull up assist band/larger looped band

Rest up to 1 min between completed circuits.

I was out of town and only had bands! Lots of fun stuff for you here😁

Just like when using weights, move with intention! Use a band that challenges you but allows you to complete the exercises with good form.

Core works with breath through the movement!s! Be especially mindful of this if pregnant as well!

Enjoy!

-Feet are at or slightly wider than hip width. Adjust to what feels best
-Start movement with hips hinged back, allowing knees to bend after to make the rest of the range of motion needed
-Upper body moves as one piece keeping a light length through the torso and hips, ribs and head stacked
-Lats engage to help support weights
-Use glutes and to pull you back to standing
-Core works with breath through the movement (see core breathing tutorials)
-resist pull of band on the way back down

Banded deadlift

-raise band to shoulder height then pull it apart
-Ribs shouldn’t flare out as you pull the band apart!
-Keep hips, ribs and head stacked with a light length through torso
-soft stance- you don’t want to be stiff and locked out
-Core should stabilize as you move. It.will have to work hard to keep you in good alignment as you pull band away from the body and out 
-Control the return to start position as band pulls you
-Core works along with breath (see core breathing tutorial)

Raise + pull

-Band is overhead throughout with tension on the band as arms press wide
-Only go to the depth you can keep good form
-Sit back and sink down to start the movement
-Foot should be planted on the floor with weight in the heels and balls of feet
-Adjust foot position slightly as needed
-Press up through the floor to standing, engaging the glutes to drive you up
-Keep hips, ribs and head stacked through the movement to prevent rib flare (overhead with band can pull you into rib flare) and overarching the low back
-Chin stays tucked
-Core works with breath through the movement while keeping a light connection(see core breathing/core hold tutorial)

Overhead band squat

Circuit 1

-Keep hips square (side by side)
-Adjust depth of split squat and length of step back for comfort
-Slight forward lean in split squat to keep good alignment and prevent over arched low back and rib flare (hips, ribs and head stacked and a light length through torso)
-Press up through front foot, focus on using the glute
-Core works along with breath throughout movement (see core breathing tutorial)
-repeat other side

Banded split squat right

Banded split squat left

-Move with control
-resist band on the lowering phase of the exercise
-Only as quickly as you can keep good form
-Be sure to keep ribs from flaring using your core connection as you press out
-Core works with breath throughout movement. Exhale, connect, move on ‘hard’ part of exercise (see core breathing)
-core should have to stabilize as you press band out away from the body

Curl + press out banded

-Exhale, connect to core and rotate from the hip as you pivot and press across body
-Think of a line from your pivoting foot to hip to shoulder when rotating
-this is not a twist
-Core works with breath through the movement
-Connect as you move (can keep a light connection throughout) 
-Light length through the body
-Keep control

Banded pivot press

Circuit 2

Move as continuously as possible until time is up. Yes it burns😅

-Legs press out against the band, making sure knees are pressing out in line with legs and not being pulled in towards each other by the band
-Feet are wider than hips, adjust slightly to what’s most comfortable for you
-Knees and toes point the same direction
-Hips, ribs and head stacked throughout movement to keep from over arching low back or ribs flaring
-Push off of one foot then the other to ‘bob’ side to side. Toes don’t have to leave the ground
-Core works with breath through movement (see core breathing/core hold tutorials)

Banded sumo taps

-Sit back and sink down to start the movement
-Foot should be planted on the floor with weight in the heels and balls of feet. Only pop to toes at the top of the movement
-Adjust foot position slightly as needed
-Press up through the floor to standing, engaging the glutes to drive you up
-Keep hips, ribs and head stacked through the movement to prevent rib flare and overarching the low back
-Only go as quickly as you can keep good form and balance during ‘pop’ onto toes
-Core works with breath through the movement(see core breathing tutorial)
